Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 88 One Is Eliminated (Third Update, Please Vote for Me)

Chapter 88 One was eliminated (Third update, please vote for me)

After playing against Bolton in the league, Liverpool will face another powerful opponent and a deadly battle - they will face Manchester United at home in the fourth round of the FA Cup!

During this period, the cities of Liverpool and Manchester were considered a winner.

The reality is that they have met continuously in the League and League Cup, and now it is the turn of the FA Cup and Manchester United to meet again.

England's No. 1 derby will continue their feud in England's oldest competition.

Chen Yingxiong has already formed a deadly feud with Manchester City fans, but his relationship with Manchester United fans is still normal. Before the game, he did not make any shocking remarks to provoke the opponent - which disappointed many media.

But in fact, the competition between the two teams no longer requires these "side theories."

When Liverpool decided to terminate Dalglish's contract early and let him play classes at the end of the season, Ferguson once complained about Dalglish, but this by no means meant that the relationship between the two was friendly.

When it comes time to fight, whether it's Ferguson or Dalglish, there's no ambiguity at all.

The intensity is even greater than that of the league. Because the league is a two-round game, if you lose one game, you can still regain your position in the second round.

There is only one game in the FA Cup, and losing means being eliminated.

Although everyone's interest in the FA Cup is not as high as it used to be, who would complain that there are too few champions?

※ ※ ※

The Anfield stadium was full of people, and all the fans in the stands stood up and cheered for the team. They shouted a man's name: "Agg! Agg! Agg!"

In the stadium, Liverpool's players gathered together and celebrated the goal.

The person who scored the goal was centre-back Daniel Agger.

In the 21st minute, Liverpool broke the deadlock with a corner kick.

Although Chen Yingxiong did not score a goal, he indeed played an indispensable role in this goal.

Chen Yingxiong's header is very powerful, especially in set kicks. Therefore, when Manchester United defended this corner kick, they invested heavily in Chen Yingxiong.

In this way, when Chen Yingxiong ran forward, he brought along most of Manchester United's defensive players. Then Agger suddenly stepped in from outside the penalty area and made a header without anyone defending.

The football hit the net.

Liverpool opens the scoring!

But the people of Liverpool were not happy for long. In the 39th minute, Manchester United equalized the score through Park Ji-sung.

This goal made the Korean commentator particularly excited - before Chen Yingxiong won the Champions League, Park Ji-sung was the only player in Asian football to win the Champions League, and he was the well-deserved number one star in Asia.

But now Park Ji-sung's limelight has been stolen by Chen Yingxiong.

Koreans will inevitably feel a little sour in their hearts. Football is one of the few things that Koreans can feel proud of in front of China. Now that China has a hero named Chen Yingxiong, their sense of pride is much weaker.

Now in the direct conversation between the two, Park Ji-sung scored the key goal to equalize the score. Not to mention other games, just talking about this game, the Koreans felt that Park Ji-sung's performance surpassed Chen Yingxiong. So they are happy.

The rules of the FA Cup are like this. Because it is a single elimination system, there is no away goal advantage. If the two sides are tied within 90 minutes of the game, the match will be replayed on another day. If the replay is still tied, overtime will be played. If the game is still tied after overtime, the game will be decided by penalty kicks.

So if Manchester United can draw with Liverpool in this game, there will be a chance for a rematch. The replay will take place at Old Trafford, giving them home field advantage.

With a strong home advantage, it is not difficult to eliminate Liverpool.

Liverpool is doing everything possible to avoid this situation, so they must defeat Manchester United in this game and eliminate the opponent directly.

Unfortunately, until the end of the first half, the score between Liverpool and Manchester United was still 1:1.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. After playing for fifteen minutes, Dalglish saw that there was still no improvement and began to make substitutions.

He first replaced Charlie Adam with Maxi Rodriguez, and then replaced Bellamy with Adam Johnson, hoping to strengthen the wing attack.

But he didn't get the results he wanted.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

In the 76th minute, Ferguson replaced veteran Scholes with "Little Pea" Hernandez. It seems that this is a substitution to strengthen the offense, but in fact it is to strengthen the defense - Hernandez's appearance can constantly threaten Liverpool's goal, allowing Liverpool to throw traps when attacking and not dare to press forward. In this way, Manchester United The defensive pressure will be less.

As expected, Hernandez's performance was very active after he came on the field. He constantly harassed the Liverpool defense in the frontcourt, making it difficult for the Liverpool defenders. Enrique and Glen Johnson were unable to press on.

Without the attack from the full-backs, the offense from the wing cannot be effective.

Chen Yingxiong can get less support.

The game time is getting less and less. It seems that in the battle between the two managers, Ferguson is still better than Dalglish...

The TV broadcast also gave a close-up shot of the two managers. Dalglish stood on the sidelines, watching the game in the stadium anxiously. Ferguson was sitting on the coaching bench, chewing gum in his mouth, and there was no trace of any mental activity on his calm face.

The Liverpool fans in the stands are still scolding Manchester United. They always seize every opportunity to vent their emotions and stimulate their rivals.

But Manchester United fans are in a good mood. Because they got a draw in the away game and returned to Old Trafford for the rematch, there was no need for Liverpool to act wild.

They know very well that the Liverpool fans are clamoring so crazily now only because their inner weakness and terror have taken over... They are afraid that the team will be tied by Manchester United at home, so they are scolding so fiercely.

What is there to fear about such a dying opponent?

※ ※ ※

"The game has entered the last ten minutes, and the score between Liverpool and Manchester United is still 1:1. It seems that the game will end in a draw..."

"Hero's header! It missed... What a pity! He had a chance to become the savior of the team again..."

"The hero has not scored a goal so far in this game, and Manchester United's defense against him seems to be very successful. But in this game, only Vidic is following Chen Yingxiong. Ferguson did not use special defensive tactics. He defended Chen Yingxiong. The method used by the hero was... to freeze the entire Liverpool team... and it had a miraculous effect in this game..."

As the commentator was talking, Chen Yingxiong received the football outside the penalty area.

He raised his right foot as if to take a telephoto shot.

Chen Yingxiong's long-range shot is very powerful, everyone knows this.

So when he saw Chen Yingxiong going to take a long shot, Vidic rushed forward and planned to block the shot.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong dunked the football with his right foot to his left foot. Then he gently moved the toes of his left foot forward, and the football rolled forward. He himself sidestepped Vidic's defense and rushed into the penalty area.

"Hero! Beautiful! He's in!"

the narrator shouted.

Chen Yingxiong, who entered the penalty area, was like a dragon crossing the river, running rampant! Now he is no longer afraid! Because all defensive players will restrain themselves in the penalty area, the movements of their hands and feet will be much smaller.

Chen Yingxiong can give full play to his physical advantages...

He first leaned to the left and blocked Rafael da Silva, who was about to steal the ball, behind his body, preventing him from moving. Then he used the reaction force to bounce to the right and collided with Rio Ferdinand who was about to rush up to steal the ball.

Neither of them fell to the ground. The force of the impact was just right.

Chen Yingxiong also made it impossible for Ferdinand to intercept his ball.

Then he no longer hesitated and kicked the football out with his right foot... and shot!

Even if De Gea makes a save at such a close distance, as long as Chen Yingxiong doesn't hit too far or too straight, he can't...

"Hero shot!!!" The next second, the commentator shouted. "goooooooooooal!!! The ball is in!!!"

Huge cheers rang out from the Anfield Stadium. The Liverpool fans who had been cursing Manchester United before now all jumped up from their seats and raised their arms, not caring about cursing the Manchester United fans...

※ ※ ※

Dalglish, who had been looking anxious on the sidelines, also raised his arms in celebration of the goal.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief now.

The goal in the 86th minute can almost be regarded as a decisive victory!

They reached the final of the League Cup with one foot, and eliminated their arch-rival Manchester United in the FA Cup. Such results are impeccable, and his last season in charge of Liverpool is expected to have a decent ending.

Chen Yingxiong, who completed the winning goal, was also very excited. He took off his jersey and ran under the kop stand to show them his muscles and the tattoos on his back. The die-hard Liverpool fans in the kop stand chanted his name.

"I know it! I know it! When Liverpool needs someone to stand up the most, the hero must be one of them! He once saved Liverpool and also saved Dalglish!"

"It's so wonderful! The hero's goal in the 86th minute helped Liverpool take the lead at home! How about saying that Dalglish has a 'hero dependence syndrome'? But there is nothing we can do. Look at the hero. With such an outstanding performance, what's wrong with relying on him? Many coaches can't rely on him even if they want to..."

"Now Liverpool has a chance to beat Manchester United and kick Manchester United out of the FA Cup! They just need to hold on to the remaining few minutes..."

Amid the shouts of the commentators, the TV broadcast once again focused its close-up on the coaching benches of both teams. Dalglish was high-fiving his assistants, with happy smiles on his faces.

Ferguson was still chewing gum in his mouth, but his face was red - obviously he was angry that the team conceded a goal at the last moment.

Then he walked down from the coaching bench and began to call the players to warm up.

He still wants to make a last ditch effort!

But it's too late.

Although he replaced Giggs with Berbatov in the end, Liverpool still managed to win this victory.

When the final whistle sounded, Anfield became a sea of ​​joy.

After eliminating Manchester United in the FA Cup, even if they lose three consecutive league games, Liverpool fans will probably not be in a bad mood.

Many Liverpool fans even sang the song "Farewell Time" in the stands, further stimulating the Manchester United fans in this way.

The Manchester United fans, who had been calm before, could not suppress their disappointment. Some excited Manchester United fans even had small-scale conflicts with Liverpool fans. Fortunately, the police intervened quickly. You must know that Liverpool's home stadium will welcome two teams from Manchester in a row. The Liverpool police have already made careful arrangements.

The skirmish between fans from both sides was just an episode in the game.

In the end, Liverpool eliminated Manchester United at home and entered the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Liverpool performed poorly in the league, but made great progress in the cup, which really confirmed their title of "King of Cups".
